Chapter 949
Cynthia had no business meddling in James' affairs.
Upon seeing Thea, she had the urge to say something but swallowed the urge. 1
Thea walked toward the sofa and sat opposite Cynthia. Then, she looked at James. “Honey, what are you planning
on doing next?”
James also sat down. He shook his head and replied, “I’ve no plans for now.”
He was like a blind man that was not able to see the path ahead.
“We’ll stay in Cansington for the time being and observe the overall situation. Right now, there isn’t much to do. All I
can do is hone my skills and continue to improve my strength as much as possible.”
Maxine had made James aware of how far beneath the Ancient Four's strength he was.
As he was, he was too weak to achieve anything.
He was nothing compared to the Ancient Four.
Unless he reaches the fifth rank, he would essentially be a sitting duck for his enemies.
Regardless of his rank, he would still end up doomed if the Ancient Four were really determined to eliminate him.

She had no actual combat experience despite having achieved the third rank of True Energy cultivation. In order to
be of use to James, she had to accustom herself to the True Energy within her body as soon as possible. Her
physical strength also needed to be built up to cope with sudden changes as well.
Going to the military region for special training would kill two birds with one stone.
“A military training regiment will be difficult. I fear you won't be able to handle it,” James looked at her with worried
eyes.
To him, women were beings that needed protection and were supposed to be pampered.
Military training was not something he wanted Thea to undergo.
It was enough that she could protect herself at critical moments with her True Energy.
“But, I want to help you...”
James interrupted her with a wave of his hand. “The best way to help me is to stay safe and sound. I’m not
discussing this any further. It's been a few days since you arrived in Cansington, and the Callahans are worried
about you. I suggest you head back and let them know you’re safe.”
“Are you coming with me, honey? ”
“I can’t leave just yet.”
James had no plans to return to the Callahans' villa. He planned to stay at Cynthia's house for a while longer. 1
It was important to him that Cynthia's condition was closely monitored.
Moreover, he wanted to absorb the energy of the Sacred Fire Fig and transform his True Energy into True Yang
Energy.
This meant he had to keep a close watch on Cynthia’s cultivation process. After she cultivates True Frost Energy,
James planned to attempt the Dual Cultivation method detailed in the Moonlit Flowers on Cliffside's Edge.
It was unclear what would happen once they practiced the cultivation method shown in the painting.
“Fine.” Thea relented in disappointment.
During her time with Thomas, Cynthia's special physique had been brought to her attention. Since Cynthia
possessed True Frost Energy, she was a perfect candidate for the painting’s cultivation method. 2
"Cynthia, you need to master this more quickly. According to Sir Caden, the cultivation method recorded in the
painting is incredibly powerful. The first painting is the key. Only after cultivating the first method listed will you be
able to cultivate the following ones.”
“Huh?” James looked at Thea with suspicion. 1

Thea quickly raised her hands. “I was telling the truth! Grandpa only said that much and didn’t tell me anything
else.” 1
It was obvious to James that Thea knew much more than she let on. However, since she was defensive about it, he
chose not to pry further.
“Alright. You should head back first.”
“Then, I’ll leave for now. After I let my family know I’m safe, I’ll come back to look for you.”
Thea left without lingering any longer.
After Thea had left, Cynthia turned to James and asked, “James, are Quincy and Tiara truly safe?”
“Probably.”
James was not sure either.
Nevertheless, he trusted his grandfather not to bring harm to those he cared about.
He also firmly believed that Thea would not devise a plot against him.
They must be safe for now since Thea said so herself.
“I’m a little tired. I’ll head back to my room to rest.”
“Alright. Go ahead.” Cynthia waved her delicate hand. James turned around and went up the stairs.
